Another thoughtful, steamy and romantic book by Caitlyn O’Leary. She get’s it right 100% of the time. The story of Gray and Riya is romantic and thought provoking. When you are a Navy SEAL you usually save the day, but to save the day of the Scientist you are in love with that is even more. Riya new she was hooked from the first time she saw Gray, can that pan out in such a genius of brain?
A definite page turner. You won’t regret the read.
What a heart stopping read. I couldn’t put this book down.
Lieutenant Gray Tyler has watched while others in his unit have met and fallen in love. He didn’t think that would ever be him. However one night out with the guys changes all of this for him. He meets a woman that interests him like no other. One of many reasons he likes Riya is that she is also working in a highly classified type of job so she gets it when he is unable to tell her about his missions.
I loved reading the first part of the book where they are falling in love. The special moments these two share and the getting to know you stage. I loved when Riya meets Gray’s friends for the first time and we see the protectiveness that Grey has that makes him realize just how deep he is with this woman.
The second part of the book is where the action takes place, Riya is tasked to work with Grey’s unit to stop a terrible act from happening and it tests Grey like no other. The action was intense, the conversations had you on your seat, it was a wild ride!!
One other aspect of this book that I really liked was there were times that Gray was going off the deep end in terms of his caveman like tendencies. I absolutely adored when his teammates stepped in to help Riya out when Gray was loosing his cool and needed time to pull himself together. I loved that he was there for Gray but he was also there for Gray’s woman when Gray was being overbearing.
I highly recommend this book!
This book opens with a bit of a bang, as Gray, Dex and Griff intercept a drunk guy with a gun and prevent him from actually shooting anyone. From there things get even more interesting as Dex’s wife Kenna faces off with a guy on the dance floor and Riya stuns him. This is when Gray finally meets Riya, the woman he has been captivated by all evening.
A dance, a drink away from the party, and a kiss that ends up with an invitation to be her date for the wedding.
From the wedding, these two take it slow, getting to know each other and dating.
Riya gets to know the wives a bit more at a barbeque and that helps a bit when the guys are called up. As does her being called to DC to consult on a viral compound.
Her and Gray’s interactions with Einstein are some typical cat moves and had me giggling.
I loved the teasing the team gives Gray before the first mission. But there is an even bigger mission to come. That’s the one that will make or break Riya and Gray’s relationship, since she’s the one with the knowledge and expertise to create an antidote if needed.
Sweet, romantic, emotional, scary, and plenty of action and lots of sizzle will have you turning the pages until the book is done.
A sweet, enticing, exciting romantic suspense that left my heart melted and my heart racing!
I adore Caitlyn O’Leary’s SEAL heroes. They are all alpha, protective, caring, handsome and they just win me over every time. And Gray was no different. He made me smile and sigh from the get go. Charming, sweet, and ULTRA caring and protective, he enchanted and delighted me with the incredible way he wooed Riya. Now Riya, she was a helluva heroine too! SUPER intelligent, beautiful and with a personality that I liked, it was impossible to not like her. I liked how sweet and slow building this romance was. It was soft and gentle but the love was fierce and loyal. There was also juuuuuuust the right amount of suspense and action to keep the blood racing in my veins and to keep things interesting. Miss O’Leary did a fantastic job and I am looking forward to whatever book comes next!
Her Captivated Hero gets a PERFECTLY ENTICING FOUR SHOOTING STARS!
Where in the hell had they dug up this dumble-dick, and why had they put him in charge of this op?
This my my favorite quote from this amazing book….this book has everything you want in a story.
Thousands of lives are in danger but can one woman and a Navy Seal team save the day..
Riya Patel will put everything on the line even her life ….Can Lieutenant Gray Tyler save the love of his life while she saves everyone else ? This truly is a must read book ……
Omg its absolutely Wonderful And Amazing and boy did it keep you on your feet and have you on the edge of your seat. Riya is scientist and works for the government but when she is out with the girls for night Grey and the other team are sitting back watching them and things go wrong and he ends up sitting and talking to Riya and finds himself wanting to get to know her a whole lot more.Heknows he has to take it slow and not scare her away, but Riya finds herself truly wanting Grey more and more but when the government needs Riya’s help with a mission that could cost her life but Grey is scared of the what ifs that can happen .I have to say this is absolutely one of my all time favorite books.
“One of the best stories I have read this year!”
Her Captivated Hero takes the reader on a roller-coaster ride of emotions; gut-wrenching tragedy, heart-warming innocence, and the reality of human imperfection have been outlined in this extraordinary story that conveys the grit and resilience of the exceptional people that grace the pages of each and every Caitlyn O’Leary book.
Her Captivated Hero simply has everything; action, suspense, sassy dialogue, fun and heartbreak; could any reader really ask for more? And then there’s Ms O’Leary’s innate ability to bring sensitive medical conditions to the forefront and ensure that readers have a better understanding of the misconceptions that plague people with differences, even when they don’t deter from their ability to function in everyday life.
I was in awe of Riya and her brilliance. A genuine young woman who was honestly confused that the public knowledge of her affliction would cause such anger in the man she loves. But remembering that all Ms O’Leary’s heroes are alpha protectors makes Gray’s need to shield his woman plausible. This story will pull at the heartstrings, make you cry, and have you holding your breath waiting for the final outcome.
Thank you Ms O’Leary for a brilliant book that I couldn’t put down till the last page was turned.
Gray falls hard and fast for the quirky scientist!
Gray meets Riya and he’s immediately captivated by her beauty and her fearless – and effective – defense of her friends. Their whirlwind romance is fueled by their matching intellects, and I have to say, it was beyond refreshing to see how these two demonstrated that smart equals sexy every time.
Their relationship is barely off the ground, however, before Riya’s unique expertise is required to counteract a DNA-specific bio-weapon and Gray’s team is also assigned to the same mission. Gray’s default caveman/protector setting doesn’t win him any points with Riya, but she doesn’t let it get in her way as she determinedly accepts the risks involved because she knows she can make a difference.
The mission is filled with edge-of-your-seat action, sprinkled with humor and heart as Riya learns to work with Gray and his dedicated SEAL team. I loved the way the other men – all married now – try to help Gray navigate these new feelings and find the right balance with Riya. Gray is a brilliant leader, yet still a hard-headed alpha when the woman he loves is threatened. He was a perfect hero for this story, and Riya is probably the most heroic female main character I’ve read about in a very long time. This is an excellent addition to the Black Dawn series, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
I loved this couple, Riya is so different from other female leads. Geeky, petite, super intelligent, clumsy and very lovable unique scientist. Gray is a SEAL, a gentleman and protector. Their chemistry was sizzling. Both involved in a mission, danger is all around. This action packed story had me in happy tears at the end. Another awesome page turner from this author, I loved every moment.
This story belongs to Lieutenant Gray Tyler, leader of the Navy SEALS Black Dawn team, and Riya Patel, the young brilliant scientist who captivates his eyes from the moment he sees her.
Their romance was sweet , though at times he was a tad too alpha for my taste. Luckily, Riya , though young , is a strong woman.
A lethal virus is about to be spread , and when Riya is enlisted to help find an antidote, Gray goes crazy when he realizes his “woman” is going to be put in danger.
The plot was fast paced and engaging. We also get a chance to visit with the rest of the team and their significant others.
Another good addition to this series.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
“Always believe in the hero. They’re out there”. When Gray said this to Riya, I literally sighed out loud. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down.
I love everything Caitlyn writes. This was just a fantastic book from beginning to end. If you are a fan of alpha Military men and kick-ass women, then this entire series will be right up your alley
I absolutely loved, loved Gray and Rita. She was so unique. The no-nonsense, truth that always came out of her mouth was refreshing. Her and Gray had that instant spark and didn’t fight it. Like all of Ms. O’Leary’s stories, there was a lot of action, a lot of love, hot sex and plenty family. This series just gets better and better.
OMG…what a page turner, edge of my seat book that could not be put down. Navy seals and smart, bada$$, beautiful women with a rush to beat the clock to prevent bad things from happening and a love that was awesome to watch grow.
